This is Quiko, our Douracoli or owl monkey. Douracoli are native to Central and South America and are the only true nocturnal monkey. They are also known as night monkeys. (That's why Quiko's eyes are so big, so he can see well at night.)

Quiko is really little, but he is tall and skinny when he stands up. He eats fruits and vegetables and loves grapes and broccoli.
